That will display actual temperaturea and fan speeds.
Open Activity Monitor to ALL PRCESSES and set CPU to display values fro high to low.
When your MBP gets 'hot', see what application(s) may be responsible for heat generation.

After using iStat menus, my computer CPU gets above 200 degrees. This happens when I watch movies or using the Internet browser.
For video that is not that unusual (200°f). In regards to the browser, is that watching videos as well or 'casual' browsing? What browser are you using?
Ciao.

Also I have noticed that as soon as my computer goes to sleep and I try to wake it, All there is displayed is a black screen and the mouse. I Have to wake a few minutes for the screen display my desktop.

It has been my observation that retina MBP run hotter that the prior generations. In spite of that I think that your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test the MBP. I think that peace of mind may important for you.
